Hi Does anyone know of any products that can completely remove scratches from cd's? Including "micro abrasive scratches" I've used "wipe out cd repair kit" gives ok results but leaves visible micro abrasive scratches I've also used many car body "scratch removers" with better results than most cd repair kits but they all leave "micro abrasive scratches" Does anyone know of anything that does...

I have a Goodmans GCE7103CD CD player. I put it in my Vauxhall Omega and it worked fine. However, when I changed my car to a Ford Focus 1.8 Zetec and put it in that, the memory function, for remembering the radio stations, failed to work. I was told that changing the red and yellow wires over on the cable would rectify this problem, and it did. However now, within a few seconds of the...

Have just bought a car with an in-dash 6CD autochanger and need advice on CDs. In the past, I have burned music compilations to CDs with my computer at home but I heard a rumour that these homemade CDs can cause jams or failures in autochangers. Anyone got any knowledge or advice? All comment gratefully received Philip

Hi, Is it possible to fit a CD unit in the spare cavity in a 2004 model VW Polo with the existing cassette unit kept in? I don't know if this is at all feasible and I understand there are some wiring issues with post-1998 VWs. Can anyone advise? Thanks in advance for help.

Hi group Anyone got/ know about Centurion? Are they any good? I want a rear drop screen for the kids so it wont be used that much and wondered what the quality will be like? Does anyone know if this will plug into my Alpine head unit screen and play both screens at the same time?

Hi, Bought one of these modern marvels on-line. Question is, does anyone know any good installers, mobile or otherwise in the South East area that would be willing to install it? All I have spoken to will only fit their own product. Also, the Peugeot has a double DIN. Would it be possible to fit this in the the second slot thus retaining the original equipment and...

Hello I have just bought a 2003 Passat 1.9 SE. This has a Gamma Head Unit and a in dash Sony 6 Disc changer.I want to replace the head unit with my old unit which is a Kenwood. Do I need to buy a special convertor adaptor in order to connect my head unit. Also, will it be possible to connect the CD changer to my Kenwood head unit with some sort of adpater/convertor or is this not feasable at...

Hi All, Here's an interesting one for all you techies out there. I've just bought a JVC KS-LH6R head unit and a JVC CH-X500 CD Changer, unfortunately there is no connection lead for them. I was wondering (after reading something somewhere, and having a look in Halfords today) could I use the unilink cable from my 'old' Sony setup as it looks to have the same connectors as the JVC kit?

Having just had a marathon 1 1/2 hour complaining session with car audio centre www.caraudiocentre.co.uk I thought I would check some threads on their service. I have to add to the other reports of poor service, that this is quite possibly the worst service I have ever come across. I asked for advice on swapping my existing Sony CDXM 730 for another Sony unit I could plug straight in to the...

Does anybody know if there is a resource where I can get the speaker displacement of alpine subs? thanks Gav

Hi all, Anyone know if an X-reg Hyundai Accent is likely to have a standard ISO connector? Will be fitting one at the w/end and want to know if a trip to Holfrods is in order first. Also, are they likely to have swapped the 12v leads like Vauxhall? Cheers, -- Scott

Hi group. Since fitting my DVD player and screen along with my Sony XA 300 source selector I have loads of interference when playing from any source with the engine running. I'm just going to nip out and move the earth point for the DVD player and screen to the same as the headunit, see if that makes any difference but I wondered if anyone else had any other ideas as well? I've never had...

Hello, (x-posted to a few groups) I can't listen to music on my car stereo anymore unless i turn it up to the max, it is very soft still. I was wondering, has the internal amp fried itself? A similar thing happened to another car amp in a previous car, it did fry itself. Has anyone had an experience like this before? Is there somewhere that checks this out, i doubt its worth it? The deck is...
